2- CAREER

2.1 Pilot trainee

• Upon joining the company, the CARAVAiles pilot occupies the rank of trainee pilot (trial period) for the first 30 days maximum.

The trial period allows the trainee to test our tracker (tool for tracking your flight) as well as our rules of use.

The trainee pilot can only perform the activities of scheduled, charter and cargo flights. The other activities will be available to him if he becomes a regular pilot.

The trainee pilot can interrupt this trial period at any time before the 30 day limit by choosing to:

become a full pilot and have access to all CARAVAIL activities.

or resign in the event that CARAVAILES does not meet its expectations.

- If the trainee pilot has at least the IVAO PP grade, he is authorized to fly on the IVAO network with his CARAVAILES call sign during his trial period.

- As long as the trainee pilot does not have at least the IVAO PP grade, he is not authorized to fly on the IVAO network with his KVL callsign during his trial period, unless he requests a flight test online on IVAO.

- The trainee pilot can (at his request) benefit from a sponsor (CARAVAiles titular pilot) in order to have a privileged contact in the company and to assist him as much as possible during his trial period.

(See chapter 4.1 of the regulations: HUBS - LOCATION)

• Aircraft from the STOL - PROPELLER - SHORT - MEDIUM & LONG-HAUL fleets begin and end their rotation on all of the company's hubs,with the exception of CARACLUB-VFR HUBS which have their own hub.

• Each flight extends your exclusivity on the device by 10 days, unless you land on a HUB.

However, a pilot can borrow your aircraft from a stopover only with your agreement.

In this case, it is the borrower who takes over the exclusivity of the aircraft.

• You end your rotation by landing on a hub in the same flight sector,

thus you lose your exclusivity on the device, making it again available to all other pilots.

• If you forget a plane at an airport other than a hub.

If the aircraft remains stationary for more than 15 days, it will be transferred to its base without notice.

3.3 Fleet management

• TRANSFER

It is possible to transfer an airplane to the airport of your choice.

This option is only possible in the following cases:

• Planes start and end their rotation (preferably) at a hub in the same flight sector.

This means that if you take a B737 in Atlanta, please do not leave it "preferably" on the Pointe à Pitre HUB in the CARIBBEAN, this creates an imbalance of the planes available on each HUB.

• A short / medium-haul EUROPE / CARIBBEAN / NORTH AMERICA / PACIFIC aircraft begins and ends its rotation at a hub in its flight sector.

Same explanation as above, a B737 which is taken at CASABLANCA and which ends its rotation at PARIS CDG created an imbalance of the planes available on each HUB.CARACLUB-VFR

• LONG-HAUL sector devices start and end their rotation on all of the company's hubs, with the exception of the CARACLUB-VFR hubs.

• Aircraft in the CARGO sector start and end their rotation at Paris CDG and Pointe à Pitre
